Hi All, Could you give me a clue what a Nissan Bluebird is called in the USA? I need a workshop manual for a 1991 Bluebird DLX 2.0 diesel and can not find one in the UK, was hoping that you may have details of where to find one in the US. But after looking on a few forums, I notice that most Nissans have different names in the US than the UK. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance. kompo001

Nissan Altima. All Altimas are made in the USA (Smyrna, Tennessee). I don't think there was ever an Altima diesel. Diesel cars are rare in the USA.
Hell will have to have frozen over before anyone in the USA would buy a 2L smoker. Like only 1% of ALL cars in the USA are Diesel. In trucks it's mainly school buses and public utility that run Diesel. Those big 18 wheel rigs you see in films are burning petrol by the bathtub. Petrol is cheaper in the USA than used chip cooking oil and a splash of methanol is in the UK. Your chances of getting a manual for a Diesel car from the USA are zilch. I could go on ...

87-89 UK Bluebird was T12 / T72 (4 door saloon/5 door hatch) USA range it was the T12 Stanza. In Australia it was the T12 Pintera.
From 89-90 UK continued to get the T12/T72 made in Sunderland for Europe only.

"5Careful as some Haynes manuals don't cover Diesel versions. In whichcase the genuine factory supplement for the engine is best (thoughthat 'new' before the LD20 needs checking up on).

It was replaced in 1991 by the Primera P10.
There was no 1991 altima, they first appeared in 1993. ( we had stanzas in 1991, don't know if that's a bluebird)
What's a good way to improve the HP for my Pathfinder. I am totally new to all this but I do know that I need atleast 30 - 35hp more power. The pathfinder-2000 is about 180 only and since I live up the mountains, I am looking for more power.
I have heard of turbochargers and here's an example:

Is this the rite approach? Should I be looking for something different? What's the flip side for doing this?
THANKS!

You are better off selling it and getting something with the power you like.
Volkswagen sells every 1.9l TDI they can make in the US.
Thanks to everyone that replied. I have since found the info I require on E-Bay. Thanks again. Phil.
